Stamkos (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to April 8, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Stamkos' placement on LTIR indicates he'll be out through at least through May 2. The Lightning have yet to announce a timeline for his return, but this appears to be a more significant injury than originally thought. With the Lightning comfortably in a playoff position, they won't rush the 31-year-old star back into action.
